Cervical health is an important part of a woman's overall well-being, yet it is often overlooked until symptoms appear. While regular Pap smears and HPV screenings remain the cornerstone of prevention, doctors say that everyday lifestyle habits also play a major role in maintaining a healthy cervix and reducing the risk of cervical cancer.
A landmark study has revealed a major breakthrough in the fight against cervical cancer. For the first time, cervical cancer deaths among women aged 20 to 24 in England fell to zero over a five-year period between 2020 and 2024, highlighting the remarkable impact of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programme.
